The mérita of a really valuable com

buiulmaii who "planted Iiis seed in
pood ground. wherein it l>ore fruit and
brought forth, fomo an hundred fold,
tome sixty, some thirty."
The wording of an advertisement is
an all-important matter.
Clearness, attractiveness, brevity and
•sincerity must characterize any an
nouncement intended to catch the pub
lic eye and appeal to public confidence.
Au advertisement inserted in a London
journal a few days ago brought instant
und multitudinous replies accompanied
by au almost unlimited supply of bank
notes, «imply bccause it touched tue
chord of nature which makes all man
Lind akin. Its simple pathos and self
evident truthfulnoss appealed to every
heart.
/Hie advertiser sought for a lost rela
tive, and, giving his name, said: "I am
ill nnd friendless. My last half crown
is exi>endod in paying: for this advertise
ment. Write mo at"—(piving the ad
dress). As already stated, nearly every
one who read the announcementhasteu
«•d to relieve the necessities of the suf
ferer—a real sufferer iu this ease, though
many swindles are perpetrated iu the
divine name of charity.
Thus it in with a really meritorious
commodity or preparation; if its virtues
bo properly and truthfully set forth in
tlie public press, its success is prompt
und certain.
On the other hand, the public is quick
nml nnerring to detect deception and
ohariatanry : and,accordingly, no amount
of "puffery" will force a vile nostrum
into public esteem and patronage. Un
told sums have been sunk in vain efforts
to advertise into popularity so-called
medical preparations which did not pos
Mess the virtues or properties claimed
for them..
Vuluablo medicines, however, like
Warner's Sofo Cure and Warner's Log
• <J*bin Karsapari IIa, carry their own best
fomnicndation in their power to cure
the particular diseases for which they
are n specific.
They require no labored panegyric to
convince the people of their power nnd
C/lieJcy, for they have been tried and
fount, perfect.
Nature's remedies, by their own in
trinsic merits have conferred a lasting
boon u|ton mankind, aud they have
secured nn enviable reputation and un
limited sale throughout the civilized
world.

OUR ROBIN.
CHAPTER VI. 4
After breakfast on the following
morning Harry unexpectedly puts in
an appearance, and my considerate
friend Robin trips off in the direction
of the Lovers' Walk, with a novel
tucked under her arm, and Neil career
ing at her heels.
Harry makes a somewhat lengthy
visit, during which Î give him a sing
ing lesson. His vocal powers are
great as regards sound, there certaiji r
ly is no want of volume in his deep,
hearty voice; but air and time are
quite minor conaiderations, so that cer
tain passages have to bo taken over
and over again, which fact accounts of
course for the visit being a protracted
one.
It is nearly one o'clock.before X.lin J
myself at liberty to seck Robin. Know
ing thafshe disappeared in the flirec
tion of the Lovers' Walk, and provided
with a book, I have not much difficulty
in guessing her destination. She has,
strangely enough io my fancy, beeo-ne
enamoured of that dilapidated arbor
which we visited on the morning after
her arrival, and there she often repairs
when left to tha indulgence of her own
sweet will.
I discover her seated on the short
weedy grass which surrounds the spot,
her back propped against one side of
the summer-house, and shaded by a
broken-down ckmatis laden with its
Btarrjr white bloom, lier l>ook lies
unheeded on the ground beside her,
while, with her hands crossed firmly
behind her back, she stares up at the
swaying- sprays above her, and the
deep blue sky beyond.
"Arc you fly-catching?" I ask with
some interest—her mouth certainly is
a little open.
"Only trying to fly-eateh," answers
Robin, laughing; and theft she opens
her mouth wider to verify her state
ment.
Unable to resist the temptation, 1
shuke the over-hanging clematis with
a vigorous hand, and the next moment
Robin struggles to her feet with a
choking, laughing cough.
"You mean thing!'' she says, with a
look of unmitigated réproach, as she
removes the last white pe'al from her
lips. "Here have I been, so to say,
offering myself upon the shrino of
friendship for the last three hours, and
in return you come and choke me with
cliftnatis. But I'll have my revenge; -
when Harry next comes I'll stick to
you like a bur."
"All right," I answer complacently;
"you will have an opportunity this
evening—he is coining to dinner.'*
"What, again?"
"Yes, again!" I answer, with a sigh,
as I remember how few more evenings
ho will be able to come before his de
parture.
" 'Siprh no more, ladie3 - sigh no more ;
Men were deceivers ever !
One foot on the sea and one—' "
quotes Robin, but I interrupt her im
patiently.
"Don't, Robin; it is very unkind—
when he is going away toot"
"Ah, when he is gone, you will be
just as forlorn as I am," muses Robin
sympathetically.
"Much—much more so," I declarc
pathetically; and then I continue, with
a dash of unusual confidence—"For
you, Robin, have never loved."
' ' 'Tis better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all," quotes
Robin.
"Rubbish!" I exclaim, with a shrug
of my shoulders; and then I sink down
upon the ground, feeling a little out
of sorts with the world in general and
Robin in'particular.
"Snubbod on all sides," confides
Robin dolefully to the elements. "I
had better retire into my shell, like a
sensitive snail;" and, so saying, she
disappears behind the trailing creep
ers which more than half conceal the
entrance to the arbor.
For some moments there is silence,
save for the hum of insect life above
and around me and the never weary
ing rustle of the gentle summer breeze
amidst the restless leaves.
Presently, however, there is heard
a little exclamation as of surprise
from the arbor; and shortly after Rob
in emerges from her retreat, holding
a narrow strip of writing in her hand.
"See," she says, handing me the
paper, with a puzzled look—"I found
this carefully tucked away in the wood
work of the summer-house—what does
It mean?"
I take the narrow slip carelessly;
but, as my eyes light on the few words
traced thereon, I know that I grow
pale to my finger tips.
"What does it mean?" questions
Robin again; she has sunk upon her
knees, the better to bring herself on a
level with my face.
"I cannot understand," I say falter
ingly, "Robin, do you think this
could have been written years ago?"
Robin had edged round beside me;
at the question she takes the paper
and scans it critically.
"No," she answers, as she returns
it; "it is freshly written; see, the ink
has not turned fully black."
"Then," I say, dropping the scrap
of paper on my knee, with a look of
horror—"what are we to think? Rob
in, as sure as I sit here, that is the
handwriting of the dead."
Instead of looking alarmed at my
statement, Robin merely objects prac
tically—
"I don't think the dead would use
•blue-black 1 writing ink."
I am too much dazed myself to re
sent the scoffing tone.
I "It is Lucy's handwriting," I say,
J staring blankly at the paper on my
knee.
Robin stares at mo for some mo
ments; tfien, instead of making any
! reply, she reads tho written words
aloud, whilst both our eyes rest on the
paper,
I "Again at midnight meet me—see
me, speak to me, but do not touch.
To touch is profwa^iop. Last night I
hovered round, but the air held me in
Iron bonds; I oould neither materialize
. nor communicate." "L."
I ' " Materialize nor communlpftî«!" re <
peats Robin. sha\ing her head. "What
doos it mein? I never read such rub
biali in mv life»"
•'Hu-ih! ' 1 say. teeiing a strango
thumping about tho region of my heart.
"It is a message from Lucy to Jack.
Oh; Robin, this accounts for every
thing! Shehas been appearing to him;"
and I shudder-.
'•Ddn't talk such nonsense, if you
please," answers Rjbin, and for al
most the first time in my experience
she looks really angry. "l)o you mean
to say that you actually believe in
ghosts?"
"Ghosts!" I say scornfully, and re
futing tho old-fashioned accusation;
"No. of course I don't believe in ghoäts;
but I do think some spirits have power
accordedrthera to revisit thé earth;
"So they can be seen?*'
"Yes, so they can be seen."
"Then you make a distinction where
there exists no difference; and, no mat
ter how you tn&y disguise your super
stition, you really believe in ghosts as
thoroughly as the most ignorant coun
try bumpkin-."
"Hush, hush!" Î say, gazing round
with some vague idea that her out
spoken disbelief will bring down upon
our h'eads retribution in the shape of
some dreadful apparition.
"But I won't Ir.if-h!" declares Robin
stoutly. ; ' I am convinced that some
trick is being played upon your broth
er. Ah"—with a smile of recollection—
"now I remember; he passed me about
an hour since, on his way round the
walk. He must have come to look for
the note, in which case it is not the
first message of the kind he litis re
ceived."
"Midnight!" I repeat thoughtfully.
"That accounts for last night's w ilk."'
"I tell you what," said Robin decid
edly. "We must replace that scrap of
paper iu the exact spot from which I
took it, and to-night we will creep out
'herb and hide; then we shall see what j
comes of it."
"Tcouldn't do it: it would kill me to
see Lucy," I declare positively. "I
should be frightened out of my senses."
"Don't be so affected, Bee Bee,"
says Robin, looking at me with tome
contempt; "it is only some stupid hoax
of which your brother is the victim.
Lesides, what is there to fear? If you
do feel timid, wc can induce Harry to
remain and join the expedition."
"Of course, if Harry came, it woitld
be different," I accede doubtfully;
'•not that thé strongest man alive is
of much use when it comes to an On
eo mter with spirits;" and again 1
shiver.
"Bah! It is sure to tttrn out a toler
ably solid Bjiil-it."
••But the handwriting, Robin! Lucy's
was not an ordinary handwriting.
Look at those square tops to the let
ters."
- «It is a peculiar hand," admits Rob
in; "but either that is a coincidence,
or some one has purposely imitated it. "
"No, no," I say, with a dreary shake
of my head. "It is her writing—there
is not a doubt about it. Resides, who
would go to the trouble of playing such
a stupid, paltry trick as you seem to
imagine?''
"That is the thing that puzzles mc,"
answers Robin hones'ly. "I certainly
can't see any object; but of course
there must bo one. It may be simply
a conspiracy to extort money."
"Believe mc, Robin, we had better
let the matter alone," I say, slowly
shaking my head.
"Believe me, Bee Bee," mimics
Robin, "we had better sift the matter
thoroughly. If you refuse to accom
pany me to-night, it will make no dif
ference; in that case I suppose I shall
have to go Hlono.»
"No, no!" I respond, gathering
around me the small stock of courage
with which nature has endowed me.
If the thing is to be done, we had bet
ter go in a body. "
So it is decided; and, after replacing
tha scrap of paper in its hiding-place,
Robin and I retrace our steps towards
the house.
At tbe end of the walk wc come faco
to face with John. He is sauntering
along slowly, with his hands clasped
behind his back and his head bent. So
deeply is he engrossed in thought that
we have to step off the path to avoid a
collision.
"A penny for your thoughts!" cries
Robin lightly, as, becoming aware of
our presence, he looks up with a
dreamy smile.
"They are not for sale," answers
Jack, in the same bantering tone; and
then he pursues his way with quicken
ed step.
"Ah, ah!" laughs Robin, as, slipping
her arm within mine, we proceed in
the opposite direction. "As if we did
not know them well enough. Monsieur
Jack! You are going straight to look
for that mysterious message, and,
what is more, you will find it."
She only indulges in this little piece
of banter soUo vocc, and when perfectly
sure my brother is out of earshot.
•«I wonder if ho will find it?" I say
vaguely.
"Of course ho will. It is not the
first or second he has had."
"How do you know that?"
"Instinct, my dear—simply instinct.
I am largely endowed with that useful
commodity."
CHAPTER VII.
It is five-and-twenty minutes past
eleven p. m.
Robin, Harry and I are assembled in
the dim dining-room, equipped for
our midnight adventure. So far all
has gone well. Aunt Louisa chanced
tobe lato for dinner and Harry particu
larly early, so that we had ample time
for explanation and planning.
Our plot is simple in the extreme.
At eleven Harry takes his departure,
and a few minutes later we all retire
to our rooms. At twenty minutes past
eleven, Robin and I creep down to the
deserted dining-room and admit Harry
by the window. John, having absent
ed himself from the drawing-room
atout half past nine is supposed to
be in the grounds. As we stand
there, waiting for the half-hour to
strike, notwithstanding the warm cloak
in which I am wrapped, a shiver runs
through me. The room looks so
vast as seen by the light of one bed
room candle. I feel as if I were a burglar,
and am in momentary expectation that
our factotum Robert will open the door
and fire upon us.
Robin, on the contrary, appears to
be quite in her element. Buttoned up
to the throat in her fur-trimmed jack
et, she looks well on the alert and
ready for action.
"I wonder whether the poker would
come in useful?" she meditates, bend
ing down and fingering that article as
she speaks.
"Don't," I ejaculate, as she careless
ly rattles the irons. "You will wake
aunt Louisa."
"We certainly ought to be armed iu
some way," puisuoa Robin; "not that
I am exactly afraid of ghosts; but I
should not care for a hand-to-hand
fight with one—I must take the poker,
or tongs, or something to wave him
off."
"Xontense!" I whisper impatiently.
"You moan creature!" retort» Bob
io, »'Ii it all well tor you to 017
•nonsense* when you are armed with ft"
umbrella!"
"Take the hearth-bvu<h," s lg^gstfr
Harry.
"That would be ignoble," 4 she ob
jects.
"I don't think you will need an^.
weapons," continues Harry, laughing.
"See—I am prepared for any emer
gency;" and he draws a small revolver
from his breast-pockct.
"Oh, don't use that, please, you
might shoot John!"
"Little goose!" he answers reassur
ingly. "If I do fire, it will probably
be in the air. "
At this juncture there conies a faint
tap at the window-pane, and I have
hard work to refrain from shrieking.
Surely, the ghost, offended at o ir lev
ity or audacity, must be coming t>
look us up! Another tap ar-d heavy i
. ... 1 ... . i-i » v.
breathing without a hurried scratch
ing, and tlisn a faint whine.
••In the nick of tirro-; that must be
Nell; dear thing! She must have
known she wan wanted to strengthen
the party," cries Robon, quickly open
ing the window and admitting our old
favorite.
"It is time we startel," eays Harry,
as the dining-room clock slowly do'er
out the half hour.
"Wait till I have secured Nell,"
whispers Robin, who U passing her
handkerchief underneath the dog's col
lar to prevent her escape.
"Are you ready npw?" questions
Harry impatien' ly.
He receives an answer in the affirm
ative, and then jve noiselessly make
our exit through tho Ireii 'h window,
and find ourselves in the moonlit
grounds. Stealthily we creep along in
the shadow of the house, und then un
der cover of a belt of rhododendrons,
until we reach the entrance to the
Lover's Walk.
At this point, the path not be'u
take the lead—a 4 O'
wide enough for three to walk abreast,
Harry- and I
heel"
well in hand; There is a certain weird
ness and unreality about t'ae who>
proceeding. The bright moonlight
only penetrates through occasional
breaks lu the Ion? lino of trees, so
producing vivid patches of l.ghf,
wher on stray thadoww oui ver and
dance like Ikings possessing .il-n A
gentle rustle, scarcely to be dtgniüe'
by the title of breeze, stirs th; black
foliage overhead, wliis; c -IKg fiom le.,'
to leaf tha secrets of the air.
Necessarily our advance is as noise
less as possible, and complete ; i'ence
falls upon us as we apprcavh the ar
bor. Once I stumble over the pro
t.-uding root of a tree and a sharp ex
clamation escapes me; but for Harry's
retaining hand. I should tit that mo
ment have t irncd and fled back to the
house. Luck is on our side when we
reach the end of tho walk. The"moon
is obscured by clouds for a fciv min
utes, so giving us time noiselessly to
ensconce ourselves in anibvsa some
few yards from the summer-Louse.
The' position choton, îind which we
had decide! on beforehand, commands
a side view of tl.c open space in front
of the arbor.
The moon again breaks fo ,_ f i, and
the meadows shimmer white in her
cold steady ligh% whilst in the gloomy
background loom tho trees which over
shadow the fatal pond. Our place of
concealment is behind a clump of
young arbutus shrub , which provide
ample cover for our persons and stiil
afford us Ihrough their tOpmost
branche* a clear view of the scene be
yond.
Hairy stands re irest the summer
hotlse, and 1 dut -h tightly at his
right arm. Robin crouches on tho
ground, with her arm thrown over
Nell's neck, so that she may so.'tly
reason with the dog shii:ll it grow
restive.
We arc installed some mini. te» be
fore the moon breaks forth from her
cloud. AY h en at length she doos
emerge, it is only by a strong effort
that I keep quiet; for there in the
open patch o." moonlight stands Jack;
his face, ghcs.ly pale in the strong
light, is turned full upon the bushes
which concetl us, while his dark eyes
seem lit era 1 lylo burn into the black,
ness.
"Lucy—Lucy!" he calls, in a lo'v
agonized voice. "Lucy—my love—I
am here!"
In the deep silence which follows,
it seems impossible lhat Jack should
not detect tho loud beating of my heart
—it thumps like a sledge-hammer. I
feel too that Robin has hard work to
keep Nell from baying out a ;'oyful
welcome to her master. - ;
For son~e minutes Jack keops his
eyes fixed upon our ambush: then he
turns his head with a a deep drawn
.sigh, and begins slowly to walk up
and down the moonlit path.
"I musj have been mistaken, " hi
murmurs aloud; "and yet I thought
I heard the rustle of her raiment."
Up and down—up and down like
some caged animal he roams. It seems
tome that the restless promenade lasts
for ages, and yet it cannot in reality
bo more than ten minutes.

"The Dawn of "Woman's Day."
From an address by Miss Frances E.
Willard, published in full in the last
number of Our Day, we extract a para
graph which our young people e jpe
1 cially may wisely ponder :
"A great world is looming into sight,
like some splendid ship long waited
for—the world of heredity, o£ parental
influence, of infantile environment.
The greatest right of which we can
conceive, the right of tho child to
be well-born, is being slowly, surely
recognized. Poor old humanity, so
tugged by fortune and weary with dis
aster, turns to the cradle at last and

The Suggestions of a New Intel
lectual Discipline. j
Rut in Ruskln we hare indeed a rev
efotion ot nature ill a new light: anc
this attitude of mind is distinctly mod
ern and in its main development has
been chiefly English. Perhaps with a
running parallel with Wadsworth, the
American fWieU, Bryimt, Longfellow, '
Whittier, Emerson, Lowell and, above ^
all, Thoreau aad Burroughs, with theii.
intercourse with nature and their love .
for intimacy with the wealth of beauti- '
ful trees in which the New England.
and Middle Slates abc . ;d, may b€
quoted. But they, as wed as Keats,
So «they and Tennyson, do not form the
distinct landmarks which the foul
indicate. The
Greeks; though they were in no wise
romantic—in fact, were distinctly op
posed to that frame of mind—were sc
thoroughly and pronouncedly human
iu their whole mental organization that
they did not develop this form of ap
preciation. They constantly projected
man—though actual, present man—
into nature, and endowed her with lifo
like her own, so vivid that they could
always hold friendly communion with
her. Further, she harbored the life ol
their gods and their go Is, were thus
familiarly present to then. But tc
study and admire her for her iuner
beauty of form and colAr, ns they
studied and admired the Luman form
for its own pure sake, was a stage ol
aesthetic developement to which they
did not attain. And in the whole
range of literature down to our own
days, so far as I am acquainted with it
and as I have been able to recall its
treatment of nature, there is no mani
festation of the habitual nnd sustained
ort of describing aul dealing with
[nature for lier own sake, independent
a! human' associations. Spring and
summer, valleys and mountains, mead
ows and flowers, rain and sunshine,
are indeed dealt with: bul in the deal
ing with tl>era there is no manifesta
tion of real observation of their form,
nor is there a pure and concentrated
interest in them for their own sake. If
they ure not themselves anthropomor
phic, historical or romantic, they are
at most bucolic or idyllic in their treat
ment. The beginning of this new
epoch are quite recent, and they are,
as I believe, to be found in a writer
who in his main features is considered
the arch romanticist, namely, Byron,
in one of his works, "t'hildc Harold. '
Of course in this poem we have much
description of scenery which would bo
classed under the head of romantic,
and I only mean lhat in him wo have
the beginnings of a designed and con
centrated desire of dwelling upon the
scenes, making their own inner har
mony the chief point of artistic inter
est. The next stage in this develope
ment I lind in Shelley; aud though
in him the warmth of his humaniUr
in interest, which gives its stamp to
his lyrical genius, always makc3 its
strength felt especially in the
human imagery ho uses in describ
ing nature, still we feel the
genuine touch of tho true sympathetic
observer, whether it be iu the awful
stillness of the mountain heights or in
the rush of the west wind driving the
withered leaves or even in the fantas
tic description of A la s tor' s mountain
chasm. And the next marked step is
made by Wordsworth who trains tho
eye to watch and pcreeive oven the
petals of simple little flowers; though
in him again, there is a preponderance
of the didactic habit But the highest
stage yet reached in this direction, a
new departure, in fact, in the character
of man's observation, is made by Rusk
in. These four men appear to me to
mark the advance. The claims of
many have been considered, and have
bècn rejected as either not falling under
this head at all, or not marking dis
tinct steps in this progression. I have
carefully considered, for instance, the
claims of Scott: but I have felt that his
descriptions are either romantic or, at
least, that tbey are always marked by
a subordination to some main hiunaa
interest or event in the poem or story.
And it is especially curious to note that
I have not been abie to include among
their number any of the Germa*,
French, or Italian poets known to me.
And though Goethe is less romantic in
his description than Schiller or Uhland,
his descriptive lyrics are more directly
expressions of mcods evoked by,
casting their light over, the objects de
scribed; while Lamartine and Victor
Hugo strike me as romantic, id.vlic, or
dicactic.—Harper's Magazine.
Onions Versus Quinine.
One day I was taken with chills and
headache, signs that my old enemy,
malaria, was on hand. My quinine
box was empty, and 1 was looking for
ward to a restless, sleepless night. In
desperation I peeled a raw onion and
slowly ate it, then went to bed, with
warm feet and an extra comfortable,
when, presto! 1 was asleep in five
minutes and awaked in the morning
free from malaria and ready for the
day's duties. Our homely but strong
friend will be appreciated in time
as a medicine, and if agriculturists
would turn their attention to raising
a model onion, with the strong
•»cent taken out that taints the
breath so unpleasantly, families will be
putting their "pills" in the cellar by
the barrel, and the doctors would take
to onion farming. The onion acts as a
cathartic and diuretic, and may help
to break up a cold or lesson the bad
symptom-*. Said a doctor: "I always
store a barrel of onions in my cellar
iu the fall. We have them cooked
twice a week, and whoever of the fami
ly is threatened with a cold eats some
anion raw. If this vegetable were
generally eaten, there would bo no
diphtheria, rheumatism, gout, kidney
or stomach troubles. But bless you!
the young men and women are afraid
to eat them. One young man went so
far as to say to me: "If my wife ate
anions I would get a bill ot

Tri vale Sccrelftr.tr Hnlford litis in his
room the clock which is dearest to t he
heurts of the old employes of the white
house. It i» of black ninrbla and gilt,
oiid originally had a glass case over it,
but that was broken long asro. What
appeals to the sentiment in this time
piece is that it is the only article in the
white house which stands exactly as it
did «hen Abraham Lincoln was presi
dent. Liucoln's office room was the
one now occupied by Mr. Halford, and
the clock then stood on the mantel just
11s it does now. Mr. Arthur fancied the
clock because of its associations and
had it taken to his own room. Mr.
Heulcy, chief clerk of the executive of
fice nuder Mr. Cleveland, asked to have
it brought back, and about two years
ago it was done.

"You would hardly think," said tho
yellow haired man who sat on the fence
and whittled a stick, "that there was a

didn't do it. They wanted $100. lliev
thought the railroad was cotnin' through

aiu't worth $1.50 an acre now. You can
see it's nothin' but sand."
"Yes, I see," said the tourist. "I sup
pose you're back here on a visit."
"Er— no. I live here," replied the
man on the fence, as lie took a fresh
chew of tobacco and looked drearily
in tho direction of the setting sun.

An Intelligent Hue.
The possession of an intelligent dog
in the family may be a very useful
means out of emergencies. Not long
iijjo some members of a family return
ing from an evening entertainment were
unable to gain an entrance iuto their
house. The key had been forgotten
and the servants were evidently asleep.
Ringing tho door bell produced no re
spouse. The only sound in-doors was
that of the dog's tail gently thumping
against the rug, but after a tune that
ceased. The dog hud recognized his
friends and refused to bark. When all
efforts to enter seemed fruitless the door
was opened by a sleepy servant accom
panied lifr a very wide awake dog. It
seemed that ike friend of the family
had made his way to the servant's room
and had gently awakened her to a
realization of the situation. As he had
never been permitted to enter the^-oom
before it is evident that his sense of the
needs of tho occasion had shown him
that he should not wait for a ceremoni
ous iuvitatiou.—Chicago Mail.

Travldence (R. I.) Telegram, March 28.
Mr. Fred A. Young, treasurer of the
Union Eyelet Company, of this city,
purchased for $1 the twentieth part
of ticket No. 2,887 in the Louisiana
State Lottery. The ticket at the re
cent drawing took the $300,000 prize
and entitled Mr. Young to one-twen
tietli of the sum, viz., $15,000. The
gentleman was credited by tbe Tele
gram with having this stroke of luck
about two weeks ago, but a denial
appetyed in one of the papers. This
morning the Telegram learned that
the money had been collected for Mr.
Young through the Bank of America
of this city. At the bank no informa
tion could be obtained, the tellers
lmving apparently been instructed to
furnish no facts lor publication. At
the office of the Eyelet Company a
Telegram reporter found Mr. Young
and learned that the ticket bought by
him through the Boston agency bad
indeed won the money, and that the
$15,000 had been collected through
the bank named. His object for keep
ing the news of h's great luck from tne
masses, ho said, was beoause he
thought that it would stimulate so
many others less able than himself
to indulge in lottery tickets to invest
llieir dollars. Just why those with
less means than himself should not
desire $15,000 Mr. Young did not
state, but he did say that he objected
to the general public being made aware
of his good fortune.
